8.7.1.1. Maintaining the RHN Task Engine
The default display shows the status of the RHN Task Engine . This tool is a daemon that
runs on the Satellite server itself and performs routine operations, such as database cleanup,
Errata mailings, etc., that must be performed in the background. The page displays the
execution times for various activities carried out by the daemon.
Administrators should ensure the
RHN Task Engine stays up and running. If this daemon
hangs for any reason, it can be restarted using it’s filename,
taskomatic
. As root, run the
command:
/sbin/service taskomatic restart
Other service commands can also be used, including
start
,
stop
, and
status
.
8.7.1.2. Accessing the String Manager
The Tools menu also offers a String Manager function. This page allows you to edit
footers, headers and other universal information displayed in emails, error messages and
elsewhere.
8.7.2. Deleting Users
Because of the isolated environment in which RHN Satellite Servers operate, Satellite cus-
tomers have been granted the ability to delete users. To access this functionality, click
Users in the top navigation bar of the RHN website. In the resulting User List, click the
name of the user to be removed. This takes you to the User Details page. Click the delete
user link at the top-right corner of the page.
